Allyson Swaby on her return from injury, the promotion race, and representing Jamaica at the World Cup

Having played in cities such as Paris, Milan, Rome and Los Angeles - it's fair to say that Swaby is well-travelled.

One city she was yet to add to her collection was London, and so she looked back on her last 12 months at Palace and what life has been like in the capital.

She said: "I came during a difficult moment of trying to stay up within the table within the WSL, and it was disappointing to not achieve that.

"But I think that one of the things that I like most about Palace is that whilst it was sad to go down, I felt like this is a place that deserves to be in the WSL.

"Just having all this infrastructure here is massive, and it is motivating every day to know that you're training with high-quality players and that you have the facilities and resources around you to help you achieve at the highest level.

"Honestly, the last year has just gone by really fast. London is one of my favourite cities, so I'm excited to be here.

"I think every day is like a little mini adventure here. There's always something to do outside of the football pitch. And I love being able to have that balance.

"And yeah, it's nice to be close to some family, close to my sister."
